nspinheiro Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi I am evaluation the change from a cloud hosting to a VPS and i would to know what will get me a better performance for Prestashop: Having 1 vCPU's and 4Gb of ram OR Having 2 vCPU's and 2GB or ram Also, does it make sense and go that extra mile to have for example 2 vCPU's and the 4Gb? Does it make so much difference? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Honestly, it all depends on the site and how it is set up. There is no one size fits all. But between the two choices, I would go with the more processing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vekia Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 well i think that it will not be a problem to migrate your VPS account to better packet, almost each hosting provider allows that. so if i were you i will use 2gb & 1cpu and if it will not be enough - migrate to better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will change hosting, my current provider does not have VPS. I did not spoke and choose the new one yet. I tried to find any information about "real good" providers in my country, but i did not found nothing conclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should work with your hosting provider for this. Besides providing your with a hosting environment, they should be properly tuning your web and database environment. There are many factors to consider besides CPU and memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin utterback Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Would you recomend any company? I can recommend InMotion Hosting. They are hosting partners with us and have extensive knowledge in PrestaShop optimized servers and support. They are also pretty active on the Forum. I'm sure they'll chime in. Check them out here, http://www.prestashop.com/en/ecommerce-hosting/inmotion-hosting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I guess a main question would be where are you planning on hosting it and how are you going to host it. If you want to use cpanel, you are limited to centos, redhat, and cloud linux. If you do not need cpanel I would suggest ubuntu. To be honest all of the linux distro's are going to give you the same performance. I would not recommend using windows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepan Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I am asking nspinheiro. Thinking about going to cloud, and read your article aswell DH42, but he might has a different point of view I would like to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Windows OS historically does not have good performance with PrestaShop. I would only use that as a last, last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about going to cloud, and read your article aswell DH42, but he might has a different point of view I would like to hear. Main issue is lack of support from current provider, but i have performance problems getting worst everyday. Accordantly to the provider, the server is splitted with many other clients and they cannot do nothing about it. Sometimes it even "feels" that i am being "attacked", so slow that it gets. I have many (and my clients) the message "resource limits exceded" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepan Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for the answer. May I ask what cloud provider you have/had. At the moment I try dh42's tip and go with cloudways and I am quite impressed with the support, speed and costs. But I am not able to test the site under real load.
